This year the U.S. Post Office released a stamp commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Armistice that ended World War One entitled Turning the Tide.

This stamp, along with unique envelopes called cachets, will be offered during a special event for collectors, historians, and supporters of our military. Sale hours are from 9:30 AM to 4:00PM on Tuesday, 2 October, in the War Memorial Veterans Building at 401 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco 94102, in the lobby of the Herbst Theatre.

There are eight different themes about America’s participation in World War One: U.S. Army, U.S. Navy/Coast Guard, U.S. Air Service, US Marine Corps, U.S. Women, African-Americans, U.S. Animals, and the War Memorial. Each cachet shows a collage of images including period posters and photos of men and women. Each cachet also tells a story about the role they played in helping to win the war. Take a look at them:
